Get Rolling With USARS!

Note: If you are hosting an event, it must be sanctioned early enough for your event participants to take advantage of the United Discount Program. Your event must be listed on the USARS Event Calendar at least 21 days prior to your event for the booking discount. Only sanctioned events are listed on this page.

The templates available on this page will assist you in
promoting
via local media; your upcoming event, your team's upcoming participation in an event and the results once the event is over.

The first step in this process is to enter your information into the relevant fields in the Press Release Template. It is very
important to include YOUR contact information at the bottom of the
press release.

The next step is to determine media outlets (newspapers,
television
stations, radio stations) in your area and their preferred method of
submission. When searching for newspapers and television stations, I
recommend using the Web site http://www.usnpl.com/.
This Web site lists and links directly to daily and weekly newspapers
as well as television stations by city. For radio stations, I
suggest using http://www.radio-locator.com/.

Once you have located the media outlets that you wish to
submit to,
look for the “contact us,” “contribute,” or “submit a story” link. The
other option is to call the general information line for the media
outlet and ask for press release submission instructions.

Media outlets can indicate one or several of the following
methods and may include more detailed instructions than found here:

E-mail – Include the press release as an attachment and
copy the press release into the body of the e-mail.
